| 1For the choir director: with stringed instruments. A Davidic Maskil. When the Ziphites went and said to Saul, "Is David not hiding among us?" God, save me by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might! | 1God, by your name deliver me, and by your power vindicate me. |
| 2God, hear my prayer; listen to the words of my mouth. | 2God, listen to my prayer, and pay attention to the words of my mouth. |
| 3For strangers rise up against me, and violent men seek my life. They have no regard for God. Selah | 3For the arrogant have arisen against me; oppressors have sought to take my life. They do not keep God in mind! Interlude |
| 4God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my life. | 4Look, God is my helper; the Lord is with those who are guarding my life. |
| 5He will repay my adversaries for their evil. Because of Your faithfulness, annihilate them. | 5He will turn the evil upon those who lie in wait for me. Cut them off with your truth. |
| 6I will sacrifice a freewill offering to You. I will praise Your name, Yahweh, because it is good. | 6With a free will offering I will sacrifice to you; I will give thanks to your name, LORD, because it is good, |
| 7For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eye has looked down on my enemies. | 7for he has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have seen the end of my enemies. |
